There were some plans a few years back to create a golf course near to Slano but the last time I was in the area it was blackened by a bad fire which has destroyed most of the vegetation.

there are 3 designated Sites for Golf Coures in Konavle, 20 miles south of dubrovnik for sale. Recently I heard there maybe a golf course built behind Src Mountain directly behind old town (Dubrovnik) where the Cable Cars used to run...
I will keep you updated.

Culchie,
There is a lot of talk of Golf Courses around Split as I was talking to a Lawyer who said there has been a lot of interest in Golf course useage in Spain ,ie: selling Properties away from the Coast and as prime locations on the coast in Croatia are fading fast or are priced too high,The next step is to move inland.

Yvonne (and others)
Thanks for that, please keep me informed of any planned golf developments in Croatia, which I believe will be the next 'Algarve' where they are at stretching point to cope, it's conveyor belt golf there now.
Regards,
Culchie

I certainly hope that Croatia does not become the next Algarve. The thought of golf courses and club houses blotting the landscape makes me cringe.

I see where you are coming from Graham, but I think money,tourism and inward investment (and the climate) will dictate that this will be a natural progression.
You look at Portugal, no course until the late 1960's, no history of golf (still no top Portuguese player even now),
I think it's inevitable that golfers and golf investors will be looking for a new location.
Regards
Culchie

Lets hope that the sands of N Africa are more appealing for bunkers than the natural beauty of Croatia  Can't you just tell how I love golf! |

FYI there is an on-going project of building a golf course on the island of Brac. It is a Canadian project and they already started to buy land for it. The project include several hotels and casinos as well.
Hope this would help.
Bye
